Solution
1. (b) AP = AB
√
Explanation: AP = (2 − + (1 − 2)
4)
= √4 + 1 = √5 = units
AB = √
(8 − + (4 − 2)
4)
= √16 + 4 = √20 = 2√5
units Here AB = 2 ×AP
∴ AP = AB
2. (d) ±4
Explanation: Distance between (4, p) and (1, 0) = 5
⇒ √(x −
) x +
(y −y) =5
⇒ √(1 − + (0 − p) = 5
4)
√(−3) + (−p) = 5
Squaring, both sides
(-3)2 + (-p)2 = (5)2 9 + p2 = 25
⇒
p2 = 25 - 9 = 16
⇒
∴ p = ±√16 = ±4
3. (d) IV quadrant
Explanation: Let A and B be the joining point and P is the dividing point;
Let’s assume the co - ordinates of point P = x and y
By using Section formula;
x coordinate of point P will be -
x= and
y co - ordinate of point P will be -
y=
∴x=
y=
Given that,
x1 = 7, y1 = - 6,
x2 = 3, y2 = 4
m = 1 and n = 2
x= =

myCBSEguid
y= =−
So, (x, y) = , − lies in IV quadrant.
[Since, in IV quadrant, x - coordinate is positive and y - coordinate is negative]

= √25
= 5 units
7. We can find distance between point A and B by using distance formula
Distance AB
= √
2a) (2a + √3a − + (5a − 6a)
√ √
= 3a + a = 4a = 2a
So distance AB= 2a
8. Let A(a, a), B(- a, - a) and C (-√3 a,√3 a)
Here, AB = √(a + + (a + = 2√2a
a) a)
BC = √(−a + + (−a − =2 a
√3a) √3a)
√2
AC = √
+ (a − √
(a + =2 a
√3a) √3a)
2
Since, AB = BC = AC, therefore ABC is an equilateral triangle.
9. Let P and Q be the points of trisection of AB i.e., AP = PQ = QB
Therefore, P divides AB internally in the ratio 1 : 2. Therefore, the coordinates of P, by applying the section formula, are
( , ) , i.e., (−1, 0)
Now, Q also divides AB internally in the ratio 2 : 1. So, the coordinates of Q are
( , ) , i.e., (−4, 2)
Therefore, the coordinates of the points of trisection of the line segment joining A and B are (–1, 0) and (– 4, 2).

Solution
1. (b) an isosceles triangle

Explanation: Let vertices of a triangle ABC are A (0, 3), B(−4, 0) and C (4, 0).
∴ AB √
(−4 − + (0 − 3)
= 0)
= √16 + 9 = √25 = 5 units
BC = √
(4 + (0 − = √64 + 0 64 = 8 units
4) + 0) = √
AC = √(4 − + (0 − =√ 6+9 25 = 5 units

∵ P divides AB in the ratio 1 : 2
Then, a = = =

Adding eq (i) + (iii) + (v)
x2 + x3 + x1 + x2 + x1 + x3 = 34
2(x1 + x2 + x3) = 34
x1 + x2 + x3 = 17 ...(vii)
using (i), (iii) and (v) with (vii) we get
x1 = 1, x2 = 5, x3 = 11
Adding eq (ii) + (iv) + (vi)
2(y1 + y2 + y3) = 40, y1 + y2 + y3 = 20 ....(viii)
using (ii), (iv) with (viii)
y1 = 12, y2 = 2, y3 = 8

PQ2 = (10 - 0)2 + (0 - 10)2 = 100 + 100 = 200 ...(ii)
Form (i) and (ii) we get
OP2 + OQ2 = PQ2
Hence, in △OPQ ,we find :-
OP2 + OQ2 = PQ2......(iii) , which is possible only if ∆OPQ is right angled. Clearly, from (iii) PQ is hypotenuse of ∆

Let A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2) and C(x3, y3) be the vertices of ΔABC.
Let D(1, 1), E(2, -3) and F(3, 4) be the mid-points of sides BC, CA and AB respectively.
Since, D is the mid-point of BC
∴ = 1 and =1
⇒x2 + x3 = 2 and y2 + y3 = 2 ...(i)
Similarly E and F are the mid-points of CA and AB respectively.
∴ = 2 and = −3
⇒x1 + x3 = 4 and y1 + y3 = -6 ...(ii)
and, = 3 and =4
⇒x1 + x2 = 6 and y1 + y2 = 8 ...(iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii) we get
x2 + x3 + x1 + x3 + x1 + x2 = 2 + 4 + 6
and, y2 + y3 + y1 + y3 + y1 + y2 = 2 +(-6) + 8
⇒2(x1 + x2 + x3) = 12 and 2(y1 + y2 + y3) = 4
⇒x1 + x2 + x3 = 6 and y1 + y2 + y3 = 2 ...(iv)
From (i) and (iv) we get
x1 + 2 = 6 and y1 + 2 = 2
⇒x1 = 6 - 2 ⇒y1= 2 - 2
⇒x 1 = 4 ⇒y 1 = 0
So the coordinates of A are (4, 0)
From (ii) and (iv) we get
x2 + 4 = 6 and y2 + (-6) = 2
⇒x 2 = 2 ⇒y 2 - 6 = 2
⇒y 2 = 8
So the coordinates of B are (2, 8)
From (iii) and (iv) we get
6 + x3 = 6 and 8 + y3 = 2
⇒x 3 = 6 - 6 ⇒y 3 = 2 - 8
⇒x3 = 0 ⇒y3 = -6
So the coordinates of c are (0, -6)

3. (c) (4, 2)
Explanation: Coordinates are given for A(1, 2), B(1, 0) and C(4, 0)
Let coordinates of D be (x, y).
Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. at point O
Therefore O is the midpoint of diagonal AC
Therefore, coordinates of O will be ( , ) = ( , 1)
O is also the midpoint of diagonal BD
